My Story

I’m Susanne, the woman behind Heroines Rise.

For most of my life, I tried to be everything for everyone—juggling roles, managing responsibilities, and living up to societal expectations. Like so many women, I followed the "traditional" path: I worked hard in school, secured a stable job, got married, and had children. On paper, I did everything right, but deep inside,

I felt something was off—or in fact wrong.

On the surface, my life might have looked almost perfect, but inside, I felt exhausted, overwhelmed, and, at times even invisible. Growing up, I felt as I was the peacekeeper in my family, the problem-solver who held everything together. As an adult and mom, I carried the mental load for many years at home while managing high expectations at work. I prioritized everyone else’s needs above my own. But that constant effort to be everything for everyone came at a cost—I forgot how to show up for myself.

Somewhere along the way, I lost touch with who I was.

For me, it wasn’t a single moment that changed everything. It was a series of painful realizations:

I had spent years living a life built for others, not myself.

I could no longer pour from an empty cup.

My dreams, my worth, and my voice mattered too.

Something had to change. I decided to take back control—not just for myself, but for my children and for women like me. I began setting boundaries, redefining my priorities, and taking small but powerful steps to create a life where I could thrive—on my own terms.

Why I Created Heroines Rise

Heroines Rise was born out of my transformation. It’s not just an Instagram account;

it’s a response to struggles so many of us share but rarely talk about:

The mental load we carry as mothers, partners, and professionals.

The guilt we feel for wanting more than what society has assigned us.

The fear of stepping outside our comfort zones to create a life on our terms.

The loneliness of feeling unseen and unheard while trying to do it all.

Heroines Rise is my way of creating what I once needed:

A resource hub where women can find tools, inspiration, and support to take back control of their lives.

A place for practical guidance—from checklists and tips to strategies that bring clarity and confidence. Motivational content that speaks to your journey and reminds you that you’re not alone.

I’ve always been passionate about helping others. Seeing people grow and succeed inspires me deeply.

Like Michelle Obama said,

"Success isn't about how much money you make; it's about the difference you make in people's lives."

Heroines Rise is built on the belief that while no one can do everything, everyone can do something.

Together, we can achieve more than we ever thought possible.
